On Thursday Lily and I went on a trip to nearby Chesterfield. I love it there as it's so quaint and lovely. We usually go on a Thursday as there's a fleamarket on, however, this week we ended up not getting ANYthing! We did have a gorgeous lunch at a Veggie cafe called Elliotts ~ definately worth a trip. Here in Derby there is no places for vegetarians to eat! Their food is scrummy and homemade. There's some great shops there, including lots of arts and crafts shops and a dolls house emporium.

It was so bitterly cold though, so I will wait til it warms up a bit then I'll go have another rummage on the fleamarket.

The dogs have got the lurgy ~ I've been up all night with the little babies. Hopefully, today they will feel a bit better, poor little mites (oh Little A has also been poorly this week and not been to school except for exams! no photos of her though or she may do physical harm lol!)

I've noticed on lots of other blogs... lots of people are joining in the Calendar Journal that is on Kate's blog The Kathryn Wheel. I've decided I will try my very bestest to join in this year... it's such a great idea! Here's my January pages!

Over on SPA we wanted to start the year with stars in our eyes and be reaching for the moon... and so our theme is 'celestial' this week. I am late posting ~ not a great start to my wish for this year of creating art every day!
